While it&rsquo;s most popular among rock climbers for famous climbs like El Capitan and Half Dome, Yosemite is also a popular destination for RVers. Part of the reason Yosemite is so popular with RVers is because of how many awesome RV-friendly campgrounds there are in the area&ndash;<em>like those we&rsquo;ve chosen to spotlight here.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"category-1-best-campgrounds-just-outside-the-yosemite\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Category #1: <strong>Best Campgrounds Just Outside the Yosemite&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we said before, there are plenty of great RV-friendly parks and campgrounds in and around Yosemite.

The High Sierras provide a unique and elevated camping experience, with some areas reaching elevations of more than 8,000 feet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are our <strong>top three selections for RV-friendly campgrounds<\/strong> in the High Sierras:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"1-high-sierra-rv-park\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: High Sierra RV Park&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/highsierrarv.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\">High Sierra RV Park<\/a> is one of the top campgrounds for people who want to stay outside of Yosemite while still having immediate access to it. Located <strong>less than a half-hour south<\/strong> of Yosemite, High Sierra features full hookup RV sites on the banks of the Fresno River. They also have a fully stocked camp store, a swimming pool, and plenty of other amenities if you need a day away from Yosemite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"2-yosemite-pines-rv-park\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Yosemite Pines RV Park&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yosemitepinesrv.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yosemite Pines RV Park<\/a> is located roughly 30 minutes west of Yosemite National Park and is one of the top RV parks in the Yosemite area.
